10 MORE OR LESS OBVIOUS THINGS TO DO BEFORE A LONG ROAD TRIP

Clean your car inside and outside –> you don’t want to stay in a dirty place…or do you?
Check the tires pressure –> a small difference can mean a lot in fuel economy
Check the levels of the fluids –> you don’t want a surprise from the engine
Check the lights –> you don’t want to get a ticket in a different country
Make sure you have all the right papers
Make sure that you have insurance for the countries you are visiting
Know what are the speed limits for the countries you are passing through
Remove from the trunk all the items that are not necessary
Check that you have all the required items in term (fire extinguisher, first aid kit)
Rest enough and have a good meal –> you don’t want to start the trip tired
